Grrr... Help-- Used to get pin codes all the time...

[Abharmagic]

Used to get pin codes via snail mail.

Used to get them via email.

Never used one... didn't have the $$ to book for the dates.

Now I don't get one AT ALL!

Been almost a year since I've gotten any.

Any hints, tips, ticks to getting pin codes again?

I'm bummed.....

A lot of people have had luck planning & saving trips on the Disney website, but never actually booking the trip. A few weeks later they often get an email with a PIN to help them "finish" booking their trip.

Also, keep an eye out for the offers that Disney has. Sometimes those can be better than a PIN.

You may want to call Disney and ask if there is a PIN attached to your name. We did not get any mail (snail or otherwise) about a PIN, and just called last week and asked. We HAD one, and saved 45% on an upcoming trip! We've been calling it the "secret pin". Good Luck!

I have only gotten one pin code and it expires in June of this year. We aren't going until Dec of this year.

Wow! That's great! Who exactly did you call to ask about this? Just the normal reservation line? Thanks for any help you can provide!

Yes, call the regular ressie line. Ask the CM if they can look and see if you have a PIN code attached to your name for your upcoming trip (if you have one booked already). If you don't have a current trip booked, tell them you are curious about possible deals for a trip and wanted to know if you had a PIN. Some CM's will look for you, and others will not. Technically, they are not supposed to tell you when you call in... so be prepared for them to say no!

Thanks so much! It's worth a try! Enjoy your vacation!

I am so excited. I got my first PIN yesterday!!!! I had already received a price for my vacation in July staying at the GF. The 40% PIN dropped the price over $2000! Needless to say, we booked our vacation.

Thanks, you too! And be sure and ask more questions if you have them. The Disboards are great for gaining knowledge before you go!
